Significance for science
For evaluating the IT solutions in the terms of imapact on the level of computerization and thus indirectly on the social utility, the study outlined a reference system, defined by 17 indicators, trough which the level of realization of each function for individual IT solution was analyzed. We developed a new model of effective e-justice and the model of measuring the effectiveness of the judicial system.
The report is a continuation of previous researches in the field of studied area and completion of the relevant literature in this field.
Addressed scientific field was completed with the results of study, in particular with the recommendations and directions for further computerization of justice system, potential renovation of the strategy, identification of key success factors and development of indicators system for measuring the performance of computerization of the judicial system.
Significance for the country
This research contributes to the solutions of the following problems:
- The court backlogs and cases pending in the courts prolong the courts procedures, reduce legal certainty and thus influence the number of tranactions in society (increase of transactional costs for subjects in society). That has a negative impact on social trust and consequently on the prosperity of society as a whole.
- A large number of pending cases and the increasing trend of unresolved minor issues.
- Among too time-consuming procedures, too large cost dimension is also typical
for the Slovenian judiciary.
- Increasing the efficiency of justice, which can be achieved through better management and governance at all levels of judical system and with a reengineering of business processes, supported by strategically defined software solutions.
The basic knowledge that evolved during the study, is that the effect on shortening the time needed to perform individual tasks involved in the justice system is more appropriate criterion than the contribution to the level of computerizaton in the evaluation of individual project from the Action plan of e-justice. From the indirect method of measuring the impact of computerization, we also proposed a direct way to affect the speed and quality of working processes.
Recommendations, which we propose to support the further development of computerization:
- Greater importance should be given to established methods.
- Increase the speed of performing the business processes in the judicary system, which also affects the cost reduction.
- The introduction of standards.
- The determination of information architecture.
- Favourization of in house development or outsourcing.
- Determination of role of electronic and digitized signature and the use of time stamp to ensure transmission security, identity, nonrepudiation and timeliness of documents.
- Taking into account the principle of availability of IT solutions over the internet.
- Acquiring information on the financial effects of the project on the one hand, and costs on the other, it would certainly increase the chances of success in applying to budgetary and other resources.
Beside of using indicators to determine the contribution of each project to the level of computerization, which indirectly show it's infulence on faster execution of business processes, we suggest the direct determination of it's influence on saving time, which provides tangible benefits.
The report also contains suggestions of users of IT solutions in e-justice in Slovenia. The suggestions are divided into:
- New solutions.
- Improvement of the functionalities of several existing solutions.
- Tehnical improvements and proposals.
